Stability and Release of Model Aroma Compounds STABILITY AND RELEASE OF MODEL AROMA COMPOUNDS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Ségolène Leclercq IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser: Gary A. Reineccius September 2008 Acknowledgments My experience in Graduate School at the University of Minnesota was not just about science and writing a thesis. It was also a chance to meet a variety of people, and learn about different cultures, different points of view and different philosophies. I have learned so much in these last four years. None of this would have happened without Gary Reineccius, who served as my adviser and mentor. I would like to thank him deeply for sharing his expertise on flavor and academic life, for his support and patience through the years and his friendship. I have also learned so much from his open-mind and his philosophy on life, or “work should not be the only thing you do in life”. This will stay with me for many years to come. I would like to thank Nestle, and Nestle Product Technology Center, Orbe, Switzerland for the project’s financial support. I would like to acknowledge Imre Blank, Josef Kerler and Remy Liardon from Orbe for their scientific guidance, as well as Christian Lindinger and Philippe Pollien from the Nestle Research Center, Lausanne, for their help in release analysis. I would like to give a special thank to Christian Milo, who served as a committee member for my examination, for his support, advice and friendliness. I will definitely remember a great dinner in Boston. I would like to acknowledge the Gordon Memorial Foundation for the scholarship they awarded me in 2007. Another special thank you goes to my committee members, Ted Labuza, Ulrike Tschirner and Ron Siegel, for their support and critical minds on my project. I would like to show gratitude to other faculty in the Food Science department and other departments. I discovered with the years how much I like learning. In particular, I would like to mention Roger Moon who helped me think through my experimental design, and Deb Wingert who broadened my horizon about teaching and learning. i I appreciated all the help and support from the Food Science department administrative staff (Geri, Sue, Sue, Michelle, Susan and Lori) who answered all my endless questions. Life in the flavor lab would not have been the same without all the lab mates present. I would like to thank all of them, former and current, for sharing their time, jokes, chocolate and ideas together. I would like to give a special warm thanks to Katie, Mike, Anna-Katharine and Sarah; I enjoyed learning about anything from and with them, and laughing about it; and JP for being JP. I will certainly miss them. I want to thank all my friends, met in France or here, for their friendship and emotional support. It meant a lot to me. I want to thank particularly Adriana, who also introduced me to Israeli dancing and taught me Spanish with so much patience. Lastly I am very grateful to my family and relatives, who supported me without limits through this adventure. I am thankful to my parents and grandparents for their ever support and faith in me. I am thankful to my siblings for their help, laughs, online photos and discussions; in particular to Adeline for her endless statistical help. I want to give also a warm thank you to the Schwartz family who accepted me as me, and became my American family. Lastly I want to thank Edan, for supporting my school-related grumpiness, being so kind, fun, and so unpredictable, and cooking the most amazing 7-veggie dinners. ii Abstract Overall, this thesis has two parts: The first evaluated the use of complex coacervation for aroma encapsulation to control aroma release. The second part focused on improving the storage stability of encapsulated aroma compounds by different techniques. In part 1 coacervate capsules were formed using gelatin and gum acacia as wall materials and either a liquid or solid core (aroma compounds). A brief storage study compared the oxidation barrier properties of coacervate capsules and spray dried powder. No significant oxidation of limonene was detected in coacervate capsules after 25 days, whereas significant oxidation was found in spray dried powder. Then the effect of coacervate capsule properties on volatile release (measured using proton transfer reaction MS) was studied. No significant effect of glutaraldehyde cross-linking or wall:core ratio on aroma release was found. Comparing aroma release data from coacervates to their release from a spray dried material, no significant difference in release pattern could be found. However, testing temperature, aroma volatility and hydrophobicity were found to be significant but not predictive factors. In the second part of this thesis, the storage stability (12 weeks at 30 ˚C) of volatiles was found to be significantly decreased by the presence of oxygen and the type of matrix in which compounds are diluted (water or various edible oils). Medium chain triglycerides, sunflower oil and soy bean oil were evaluated as the edible oils. Water was found to have a highly significant detrimental effect on volatile stability compared to the oils. The type of oil matrix was also found to significantly affect storage stability. No correlation could be detected between the oxidation level of the oil and the oxidation pattern of the volatiles. iii The stabilization of volatiles during storage was attempted by physically removing oxygen from the storage environment (< 0.5 %) and by adding selected antioxidants (rosemary extract, vitamin E, vitamin C, BHA and BHT). The addition of antioxidants in oil matrices showed compound specific action and a significant detrimental effect in some cases. Overall, no system would offer optimal protection for all aroma compounds studied simultaneously. iv Thesis Flow Chart Chapter 1 Literature Review Chapter 2 Chapter 4 Making coacervates Parameters affecting volatile Determining critical parameters storage stability Choosing aroma compounds Choice of analytical method Standardize manufacturing Choice of control process Choice of compounds of interest Develop drying method Characterization of capsules obtained Chapter 5 Use of delta-tocopherol to stabilize aroma compounds during storage Choice of antioxidant Chapter 3 Choice of lipid matrix Measure of release response Choice of analytical method Set up Effect of lipid oxidation level on Choice of controls stability Max Intensity - Time to Max intensity Persistence - % of Imax at t = 0.5 min Chapter 6 Comparison of selected antioxidants to stabilize aroma Effects of capsule characteristics on compounds real-time release Choice of antioxidants Choice of lipid matrix Comparison with controls Strategies to stabilize aroma compounds during storage v Table of Contents Acknowledgments............................................................................................... i Abstract.............................................................................................................. iii Thesis Flow Chart............................................................................................... v Table of Contents ............................................................................................... v Table of Contents .............................................................................................. vi List of Figures.................................................................................................. xiii List of Tables .................................................................................................. xvii Chapter 1: Literature Review............................................................................. 1 1.

    © 2021 JETIR March 2021, Volume 8, Issue 3 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) A STUDY ON FRAGRANCE FINISH ON MODAL KNIT FABRIC M. Sharmila1 Dr.R.Divya2 PG Student Asst Professor Department of Costume Design and Fashion, PSG College of Arts and Science. ABSTRACT Innovative fragrance finish on Modal fabric New textile technologies have enabled the application of cosmetic ingredients on fabric to provide its functional benefit to the end-use product and therefore, cosmetic textiles are moving from research to the stage of commercialisation. Fragrance finish is one such finish that falls under this category. A fragrance is made from a pleasant smelling aroma compound. Aromachology is a science that studies the effects of fragrances on the human body and mind. It researches how scents can be used to induce relaxation and make life more pleasant. Finish was prepared and applied by two methods. Tests were conducted to check the performance properties of fragrance finish and the effect of finish on physical properties and mechanical properties of the fabric for unwashed samples. Comparative analysis of the two finishing application methods was done. Keywords: Modal fabric, knitted, fragrance finish, citronella oil, padding mangle. 1 INTRODUCTION Modal was first developed by Austria based Lenzing AG Company who trade marked the fabrics’ name, but now many manufacturers make their own versions.1 Single jerseys knitted structures are the primary material for intimate clothing as well for the sport wearing. The main expectation of such clothing is to provide higher level of comfort to the human being .2 Fabric Sourcing is on the selection of knitted fabric material of Modal is a wood pulp based cellulosic fiber, made out of pure wooden chips from the beech tree, technically as the European Schneider Zelkova tree.

Received: 16 October 2020; Accepted: 20 November 2020; Published: 26 November 2020 Abstract: Lavender and its products have excellent flavor properties. However, most studies focus on the aroma profiles of lavender essential oil (LEO). The volatiles in lavender extracts (LEs), either in volatile compositions or their odor characteristics, have rarely been reported. In this study, the odor characteristics of LEs and LEO were comprehensively investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), coupled with sensory evaluation and principal chemical analysis (PCA). In addition, the extraction conditions of lavender extracts from inflorescences of Lavandula angustifolia Mill. were optimized. Under the optimal conditions of extraction, twice with 95% edible ethanol as the solvent, the LEs tended to contain the higher intensity of characteristic floral, herbal and clove-like odors as well as higher scores of overall assessment and higher amounts of linalool, linalool oxides I and II, linalyl acetate, lavandulyl acetate and total volatiles than LEO. PCA analysis showed that there were significant differences on the odor characteristics between LEO and LEs. The LEO, which was produced by steam distillation with a yield of 2.21%, had the lower intensity of floral, clove-like, medicine-like, pine-like and hay notes, a lower score of overall assessment and lower levels of linalool oxides I and II, linalyl acetate, lavandulyl acetate and total volatiles compared with LEs, whereas the relative contents of linalool and camphor in LEO were significantly higher than that in LEs.

  • Influence of Odor Intensity and Mood on Hedonic Reactions to Aroma
    INFLUENCE OF ODOR INTENSITY AND MOOD ON HEDONIC REACTIONS TO AROMA COMPOUNDS IN A MULTI-ETHNIC SAMPLE OF YOUNG ADULTS By LUMENG JIN A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Program in Food Science written under the direction of Dr. Beverly J. Tepper and approved by _____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Influence of Odor Intensity and Mood on Hedonic Reactions to Aroma Compounds In a Multi-ethnic Sample of Young Adults by LUMENG JIN Thesis Director: Beverly J. Tepper This study was designed to investigate: 1) how nasal irritation influences the sensory perception of aromas; 2) the role of emotions in the preference and acceptance of aroma compounds; and 3) if ethnicity and genetic variation in taste sensitivity to the bitter compound 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) influence these outcomes. Ninety-six subjects (East Asian, n=53 and American Caucasians, n=43) were classified as PROP super- tasters; medium-tasters; and non-tasters. Subjects sniffed (orthonasally) aqueous solutions of cinnamaldehyde, methyl cinnamate, citral, citronellol, geraniol, and phenyl ethyl alcohol (PEA) at low (range =1-2.5 ppm) and mid-range (range =4-100ppm) concentrations in two separate sessions. Subjects rated intensity and overall liking for each aroma using 15-cm line scales. Pungency was rated for the mid-range concentrations only. Self-reported mood reactions to all aromas were collected using 8- point VAS scales. Additionally, subjects selected the most related mood descriptor of each aroma as an implicit measurement.

Aroma profiling • What? - Aroma • From Wikipedia; An aroma is a volatilised chemical compound that humans or other animals perceive by the sense of olfaction (the sense of smell). • An aroma compound, also known as odorant, aroma, fragrance, or flavour, is a chemical compound that has a smell or odor. A chemical compound has a smell or odor when it is sufficiently volatile to be transported to the olfactory system in the upper part of the nose. • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. VOCs are numerous, varied, and ubiquitous. They include both human-made and naturally occurring chemical compounds. Most scents or odours are VOCs • NOT ALL Volatile compounds are Aroma active..

Thresholds of key aroma compounds of orange juice (OJ) were determined in a deo- dorized OJ matrix. The three-alternative-forced-choice (3-AFC) method was used (ASTM: E-679). Untrained panelists, 33–58 in number, were presented with deodorized orange juice samples arranged in five rows of three samples, corre- sponding to five spiking levels, each separated by a factor of 3, with a 3-AFC presentation at each level. The test was repeated at least three times for experienced panelists. Odour thresholds in the orange juice matrix were 15 times (citral, hexanal) to over 200 times (β-pinene, limonene) higher than published values in water. Retronasal odour thresholds were more consistent with published values, being higher only by 2–60-fold, except for octanal which was higher by 187-fold.

  • 1 the Effect of Orthonasal and Retronasal Odorant Delivery On
    The Effect of Orthonasal and Retronasal Odorant Delivery on Multitasking Stress DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alexandra M. Pierce-Feldmeyer, B. S. Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee Christopher T. Simons, Ph.D., Co-Advisor Ken Lee, Ph.D., Co-Advisor Yael Vodovotz, Ph.D. Earl Harrison, Ph.D. 1 Copyrighted by Alexandra Marie Pierce-Feldmeyer 2017 2 Abstract On a daily basis Americans experience too much stress, often stemming from the multitude of tasks needed to be accomplished in the workplace. Drugs or psychotherapy is often prescribed for chronic stress, but acute stress, which is equally harmful has few effective relief mechanisms. Aromatherapy has been suggested to elicit stress reducing properties but previous work produces variable results, causing studies to lack reputability. Robust literature is lacking likely because study methodologies vary heavily. Often, delivery method, odorant flow rate, aroma composition and concentration, and exposure time all differ, making studies difficult to compare. One of the variables that has not been formally assessed is the potential for odorant pathway to affect aroma stress reduction. Odorants can be sensed and perceived orthonasally (nostrils) or retronasally (oral cavity). Prior research indicates route of delivery impacts odorant perception, pleasantness, and directed behaviors thus suggesting differential processing of olfactory information. Therefore, differences in aroma delivery may dictate aromatherapy effectiveness. This important concept has not been studied previously. Lavender has a history of use in aromatherapy and thus we studied its impact compound, linalool delivered orthonasally and retronasally.
